"Want to see the difference between us?"
Uchiha Shisui narrowed his eyes, surprised by Itachi's challenge. After witnessing the loss of his friends in Third Ninja World War and having unlocked the Mangekyō Sharingan, Shisui didn't expect Itachi to want a fight.
[The manga and anime never explained how Shisui got his Mangekyō Sharingan, but it must have been due to the Third Ninja World War!]
Shisui shook his head. "There's no need for a test. You're not my opponent!"
Though Itachi was a prodigy, Shisui felt he was still lacking.
"I want to try. I need to see how far behind I am so I can improve!" Itachi said seriously, determination clear on his face. "Without a goal, my progress will stall!"
Shisui saw Itachi's serious expression and sighed. "Now?"
"Yes!" Itachi nodded firmly, stepping back and preparing to fight. "Don't hold back. I need to understand the difference between us so I can get stronger!"
A kunai appeared in Itachi's hand, ready for action.
"Let's start!" Shisui agreed, growing serious himself. He wanted Itachi to recognize his current strength, especially since Itachi would be joining Anbu soon.
As Shisui spoke, five shurikens flew toward Itachi's forehead.
"Quick and decisive, good!" Shisui nodded in approval.
But as the shurikens were thrown, Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly move back, retreating about ten meters in the blink of an eye.
"I know your skills, Shisui, so I anticipated your move!" Itachi was confident, having already predicted Shisui's direction when he threw the shurikens.
As Shisui reappeared, Itachi was already in position to strike.
"Your speed isn't enough to catch me, but I won't dodge this time!" Shisui said, drawing a kunai as Itachi attacked.
The weapons clashed, and the difference in their strength sent Itachi flying.
As he soared through the air, Itachi quickly formed hand seals. "Great Fireball Jutsu!"
A fireball shot through the air.
Every move was exactly what Itachi expected, and the ninjutsu flowed smoothly.
"Not bad!" Uchiha Shisui's eyes sparkled. This technique was impressive: "Now it's my turn!"
Shisui sliced through the Great Fireball Technique with a single strike and used the Body Flicker Technique!
In an instant, he appeared right in front of Itachi.
He was incredibly fast!
The shuriken was thrown again.
This time, Itachi could only block with his kunai.
As soon as the weapons collided, Itachi was thrown backward.
He tumbled through the air three times before managing to land.
Just as he touched the ground,
Shisui was already closing in again.
"This is bad..." Itachi thought, his eyes narrowing as two tomoe appeared in his pupils.
He could now track Shisui's movements.
He might just manage to handle it next time.
"Two tomoe? Good, very good!" Shisui said, seeing the two tomoe in Itachi's eyes, unable to hide his grin.
It won't be long before he unlocks the third tomoe!
His strength will grow even more.
With both of them entering the village, the Uchiha clan will be treated even better.
Thinking this, Shisui's pace quickened, as if trying to push Itachi to his limits.
Clone jutsu, substitution jutsu, fireball jutsu!
Shisui showcased all these techniques throughout the battle. His talent was evident, as Itachi managed to hold his own for so long.
After the battle, Shisui had a better grasp of Itachi's strength. Itachi had surpassed the level of an ordinary Chunin, and if his chakra were more abundant, he could even match a Jonin.
Itachi was struggling to hold his ground against Shisui's attacks, breathing heavily and looking shocked.
Shisui wasn't using his full power and hadn't even opened his eyes during the fight. There was still a significant gap between him and Shisui.
"Use your full strength, and show me what you've got!" Itachi demanded firmly.
He knew Shisui had more to offer.
"Alright, I'll show you the strength of a Jonin and give you a clear understanding of this world!" Uchiha Shisui quickly performed a series of hand seals, and several clones appeared beside him.
A total of six clones appeared, all identical to Uchiha Shisui!
"Shadow Clones?" Itachi saw Shisui perform the technique for the first time and looked puzzled.
He whispered to himself and threw shuriken at Shisui, but they passed through the clones without causing any harm!
Not believing it, he tried again, but the clones still seemed intangible.
"Is it an illusion? Or real shadow clones? Or something else?" Itachi was extremely shocked, unsure of how to handle so many clones.
"It's my turn!" Shisui said with a smile, and the clones moved in.
They surrounded Itachi and attacked him simultaneously.
"It must be an illusion; only one of them is real!" Itachi murmured, identifying one of the clones and thrusting his kunai at it.
At that moment, another clone appeared and punched Itachi away. Another clone then appeared in front of him, kicking Itachi into the air!
The clones kept attacking in rapid succession, leaving Itachi with no chance to fight back.
"How is this possible? They're clearly illusions, but each clone has attack power!" Itachi's eyes were wide with disbelief and even fear. "Is this the instantaneous Shisui?"
For the first time, Itachi felt the true terror of Shisui, the Uchiha genius.
Not far away, on the roof of a mansion, Genya's petite figure was casually eating snacks while watching the training ground with an amused expression. "A fight has started. How interesting!"
Genya's mansion was only about one kilometer away from the training ground. Thanks to his Dual Pupil, he could clearly see every movement on the training ground. Since arriving home, he had been keeping an eye on the scene.
He knew something would happen between Itachi and Shisui, but he didn't expect them to be fighting. He was impressed by Shisui's strength, noting that Shisui likely had the power of a Jonin and hadn't even used his full strength. However, Itachi still seemed somewhat weak.
He saw Shisui using his clones, easily overpowering Itachi, who couldn't fight back.
"Is this the Body Flicker Technique?"
With his Dual Pupil, Genya could see the principle behind Uchiha Shisui's technique. There were six figures: one main body, two shadow clones, and the remaining three were illusions.
If he were closer, he might also be affected by the illusions! The trick of this Body Flicker Technique is that Shisui can quickly swap his real body and shadow clones with illusion clones, making it hard to tell which are real and which are fake.
It's a combination of shadow clones, illusions, and Body Flicker Jutsu.
Even with the Dual Pupil, Genya had no effective way to counter it!
Shisui truly lives up to his name, Shisui of the Body Flicker! There's no perfect introduction to Shisui's abilities.
Shisui's Body Flicker Technique is completely perfected!
